Virtual Desktops

Gartner, a leading market research company, expects the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or desktop virtualization market to grow to $2.6 billion by 2014. And by 2012, Gartner predicts that 60 percent of all enterprise PC configurations will use desktop virtualization. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) revolutionizes enterprise desktop computing by lowering the total cost of desktop computing, increasing security and making desktop computing more agile.

Benefits of a VDI deployment

  • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
  • Supporting remote users
  • Desktop hardware and software refreshes
  • Security and compliance
  • Enabling mobile users
  • Mergers and acquisitions
 
   

One of the biggest driving factors for desktop virtualization is current sense of urgency across all organizations:

  • The need to migrate to Windows 7.
  • Proliferation of end user computing devices like iPads, tablets and smartphones
  • Need for access to data securely from anywhere using any device

As companies contemplate how they can get to the above, they are rethinking their desktop environments and asking, "How can we manage desktops more efficiently? How can we provide access to
non-standard devices and yet be secure and compliant?"
